Chapter 48 |
| 1 | Now these are
the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon,
as one goeth to Hamath, Hazarenan, the border of Damascus northward, to the
coast of Hamath; for these are his sides east and west; a portion for
Dan. |
| 2 |
And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west
side, a portion for Asher. |
|
3 | And by the border of Asher, from the
east side even unto the west side, a portion for Naphtali. |
| 4 | And by the
border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for
Manasseh. |
| 5
| And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto
the west side, a portion for Ephraim. |
| 6 | And by the border of Ephraim,
from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Reuben. |
| 7 |
And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, a portion
for Judah. |
| 8
| And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the
west side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty
thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, from the
east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of
it. |
| 9 |
The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD shall be of five
and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth. |
| 10 | And
for them, even for the priests, shall be this holy oblation; toward the north
five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in
breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five
and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the
midst thereof. |
|
11 | It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of
the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the
children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray. |
| 12 | And this
oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them a thing most holy by
the border of the Levites. |
|
13 | And over against the border of the
priests the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length, and ten
thousand in breadth: all the length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the
breadth ten thousand. |
| 14 | And they shall not sell of it, neither
exchange, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto the
LORD. |
| 15 |
And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over
against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane place for the city,
for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst
thereof. |
| 16
| And these shall be the measures thereof; the north side
four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five
hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side
four thousand and five hundred. |
| 17 | And the suburbs of the city
shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward the south two
hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the
west two hundred and fifty. |
|
18 | And the residue in length over against
the oblation of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten
thousand westward: and it shall be over against the oblation of the holy
portion; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the
city. |
| 19 |
And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the
tribes of Israel. |
| 20 | All the oblation shall be five and twenty
thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation
foursquare, with the possession of the city. |
|
21 | And the residue shall
be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation, and
of the possession of the city, over against the five and twenty thousand of the
oblation toward the east border, and westward over against the five and twenty
thousand toward the west border, over against the portions for the prince: and
it shall be the holy oblation; and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the
midst thereof. |
|
22 | Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and
from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the
prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for
the prince. |
|
23 | As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side
unto the west side, Benjamin shall have a portion. |
| 24 | And by the
border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, Simeon shall have a
portion. |
| 25
| And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the
west side, Issachar a portion. |
| 26 | And by the border of
Issachar, from the east side unto the west side, Zebulun a portion. |
| 27 |
And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, Gad a
portion. |
| 28
| And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward,
the border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters of strife in Kadesh, and to
the river toward the great sea. |
| 29 | This is the land which ye
shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are
their portions, saith the Lord GOD. |
| 30 | And these are the goings out
of the city on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures.
|
| 31 | And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of
Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate
of Levi. |
| 32
| And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and
three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of
Dan. |
| 33 |
And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures:
and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of
Zebulun. |
| 34
| At the west side four thousand and five hundred, with
their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of
Naphtali. |
| 35
| It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the
name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there. |
